    Murder in Port Orchard, Washington
    According to court documents filed on November 5, 2014, there were images posted to 4chan that appeared to be of a murder victim. The body was discovered in Port Orchard, Washington, after the images were posted.[185] The posts were accompanied by the text: "Turns out it's way harder to strangle someone to death than it looks on the movies." A later post said: "Check the news for Port Orchard, Washington, in a few hours. Her son will be home from school soon. He'll find her, then call the cops. I just wanted to share the pics before they find me."[185] The victim was Amber Lynn Coplin, aged 30. The suspect, 33-year-old David Michael Kalac, surrendered to police in Oregon later the same day; he was charged with second-degree murder involving domestic violence.[186] Kalac was convicted in April 2017 and was sentenced to 82 years in prison the following month.[187]

    So reddit should also be shutdown due to one incident among millions of users over years?

    I believe this is quite different, the guy was crazy, murdered someone and posted the pictures there. It was not a "team" effort from 4chan users.

    PS: I updated former my post, with several other examples of 4chan team actions.

Countless times 4chan has alerted the authorities and tracked down people posting or doing illegal shit. Maby you should visit the site and not listen to boogeman bullshit. Its clear your almost a child in terms of experience on the internet. Go experience. And fyi discrimination happens on every single site, including this one.

    4chan is just a message board full of assholes in general. the worst they do is group up to go to another site and make mean posts and call it "raiding".

    what you are thinking of is the deep/dark web and there are sites there that are illegal just to visit. its not something you can access by accident.

    I used to be extremely active (read as: shitpost constantly) on /v/ and /vg/.

    Now I rarely post, mostly just browse those same boards and usually have a /mu/ and /tv/ tab open at any given time. I went to /b/ for the first time in over a decade the other day, it's like a time capsule of mid-2000's internet culture but with updated image macros and thread games.

    do you think you could provide proof of this or no. It's up to you but just asking since it really boggles my mind, I'd figure 4chan would be the one to intentionally mislead authorities in a situation like this

    Because only the mean and troll posts leave the site and get exposure on other sites (other than the memes, of course).

    Ask anyone that actually uses the site and they can tell you they have had literally a decade or more of good times on the site and pleasant discourse with other users.

    This doesn't have the 4chan bit but it cover's Reddit's side of the botched investigation.

    Oh shit guys. Someone used 4chan.

    Call the cyber police!

    Consequences will never be the same.

    People always have a ton of misconceptions about 4chan, always hearing horror stories that come from the site.

    The truth is that 4chan 99% of the time is just a normal image board. Every now and then you will find someone posting fucked up shit there but that is generally cleaned up quick by their moderators, which 4chan does have and they have a crap load of em, it isn't a website where anything goes. The primary suspect board for weird shit is /b/, and once again you may find something disturbing posted there once in a blue moon that only stays up for a couple of minutes before its taken down, the rest of the time its just a constant spamming of tits, dicks and random shit. The rest of the site is perfectly fine, you have the different boards with their different topics that each have their own different moderators.

    That is like 3/60 sub-forums. Many of the Sub-chans are actually really helpful. I made a lot of friends in SWTOR in the /swgg/ threads of Videogames General

    Seriously though, get a grip. Quite aside from the fact that it's not all /pol/ and /b/ , if you don't like it just steer clear of it. But given that (a) the First Amendment exists, and (b) info on the site's owner is publically known last I checked, it's clearly not illegal in the USA. Or anywhere you can get onto it without proxies, VPNs and the like - sites banned in the UK are actually blocked for example.
    Still not tired of winning.

    so does this imply not all boards are cozy with each other? i.e, the video game general does not have positive opinions of this /b/

    I visit 4chan daily mostly /int/ and /o/.

    /pol/ is awful as it's full of shills and the same Australian posting the blacked threads.
